Thank you, FWIW I had read the abstract...I don't normally read (or skim) the entirety of every study somebody cites. But taking your advice I noticed 7.2 contains: All the developers were recruited based on their interest in using agile practices including PP Personally I would prefer not working in a paired programming environment, though I'm not sure it would be a deal-breaker. But I know developers (more introverted than me) who I imagine it might be.

While it probably biases the numbers a bit, I don't fault the study for picking people who were receptive to new practices. Picking people randomly and forcing them to change practices would just cause resentment. Even though I enjoy pairing, I also doubt I would enjoy working at a place that required people to pair. Rules like that irk me. They're often a symptom of other, bigger problems.
